I notice VS Naipaul does not yet have a proper length biography, unlike Edward Said, which is odd considering Naipaul's long literary career. Evidence of liberal bias in Wikipedia? I hope not.

Liberal bias? What does "liberal bias" have to do with Naipaul? I'm confused. Guettarda 19:51, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

This devotes way too much attention to his politics. He won the Nobel Prize for his artistry as a novelist. This whole entry needs rewriting. --Griot

Yes, I agreed there should be more about the novels, and I don't think the list of fiction is correct as "The Loss of El Dorado" is definitely non-fiction. --Alan 23:01, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps due to the prohibition about speaking against the prophet are there too few entries regarding the esteemed Mr. Naipaul. One billion people acceeding to a prohibition leaves few to make commentary. -- [Ethicalone503]

There's a prohibition against speaking ill of V.S. Naipaul, and one billion people "acceed" to it? Who knew? Griot 23:48, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

User:Ethicalone503 was referring to Naipaul's criticisms of Islam. 70.23.177.216 09:13, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I knew that. And I was making fun of using Ethicalone503, who doesn't know what "acceed" means. Griot 19:07, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Oh.

Can somebody fix the infobox errors? Randhirreddy 15:07, 21 November 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Randhirreddy (talk • contribs)

Of all the talk pages of all the pages in WP; this one has done the least in terms of contributing to the betterment of the main article. And, I just joined the bandwagon with this comment. ~~Abhishek 21 March 2008 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.215.87.3 (talk) 15:12, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
